The sky is slightly bright, and the town is in the morning.

I walked down the street with my baggage on my back, dressed in a dark dress that no one else would notice.

The hood on his head was still worn, but the face under the hood had changed a little more than when he was in the inn.

I don't know how the other party will react when I meet the caravan people in the southeast of the town in a while.

There weren't many pedestrians on the street, and I didn't meet a few people along the way from the inn to the southeast of town.

As I walked, I unconsciously slowed down and looked at the shops around me.

Because of the war in the northland, the town has a lot of shops on the street.

As far as the eye can see, there are many shops selling local souvenirs.

Of course, the biggest impact of the war is local business.

The closure of such shops in Nanhua Town has become a wave and is still ongoing.

When Wang Shi arrives in the Northland, the war resumes, and most of the shops in the town will probably be closed.

With the residents of the town, they can't support so many shops, and the people who can make a living are the customers who come and go.

Those goods that are going to be transported from the north to the south pass through the town, stop and transit, and the impact on the whole line is not too great.

If it's a war, even they have to be different.

I frowned, and my gaze stumbled upon in front of one of the shops I was passing by.

The thresholds were thick with ash, and the window lattices were mottled with paint.

Even the signboard hanging in front of the store looks like it has accumulated a layer of dust, and it looks like it should be closed for many days, and it is difficult to find someone who is willing to take over the store and continue to operate in the face of the current situation!

I thought about it. In addition to the lively scene of the market in the north of the town, it seems that the southeast area of the town is obviously much more depressed.

When I got to the border, I saw that several early shops had opened on time.

The scent wafting from the street wind. Greet the first group of guests who arrive in the morning.

These shops are close to the southeast of the town, and the main source of customers is business travelers, and there are many people in the caravan, and the shops can be maintained for the time being.

After a pause, I stood on the street and looked up, and was surprised to see that there were not many customers in the shops along the street.

Also, I could hear the accents of the customers who came to the store.

Once identified, it can be detected that there are many local residents in Nanhua Town. Looking at the details, the dress and temperament are all local residents.

What about the caravanserais? I looked left and right, and I couldn't help but wonder in my heart.

Could it be these days. The mountain road from Suzhou to Nanhua Town has problems because of the climate?

When I was in the inn, I heard that there were guests from Suzhou in the lobby, but I didn't hear about the situation on the road.

Think back to when I came with the dart guys. At that time, the construction of a temporary bridge over the mountain stream is still vivid.

No one saw the caravan in the shop. Subconsciously, I thought of the scene that day.

However, when I stopped in Nanhua Town, I had the impression that it had not rained heavily in the past few days!

Could it be that the temporary deadwood bridge is once again unbearable because of the large number of people coming and going?

A few thoughts flashed through my mind, and my thoughts were a little confused, and as I approached the snack bar, I couldn't help but ask the owner who was preparing hot noodle soup at the door.

I didn't expect his expression to be similar to mine. As soon as he heard my question, he immediately replied, "I don't know what's going on today." Guest. ”

The shopkeeper of the snack bar didn't look very good, and he whispered to me, "Obviously, there were a few caravans parked in the southeast of the town last night. ”

"I don't look at them in a hurry."

Most of the caravans that stayed in the southeast of Nanhua Town came to the town to replenish their supplies, and after preparing the dry food for the journey, they had to calculate the distance of the next stop.

In addition, it is important to prepare for the necessary things in case the weather changes on the way.

Except for those caravans that did not stop in the town and passed directly from the mountain road outside the town, those who could stay last night must not be in such a hurry.

The situation that the shopkeeper said is also my cognition.

"But it's strange this morning."

At this point, the shopkeeper paused, glanced at the mountain road outside the southeast of the town, and then retracted his gaze and stared at me, saying, "The groups of people who stopped in the southeast of the town all came to me in a hurry to eat and leave early. ”

"I don't know what's going on with those people?" The shopkeeper whispered, "I asked at the time." ”

"What do they say?" I suddenly had a bad feeling in my mind.

"I didn't say anything, I just left after eating, we don't know why!"

I looked at him in amazement, and I didn't know what to ask for a moment, but I heard him clearly when he mentioned that he had just left this morning.

However, the time I came out of the inn was very early, and it was only less than half an hour now.

The caravan was before me?

It's not surprising that one of the teams is so rare that the guests at the next stop have a request and are in a hurry.

The problem is that so many teams, all left, hurry up?

What kind of early is it?!

According to the shopkeeper, there were no less than five or six caravans of people who came one after another.

The proprietor was busy before dawn, and when it was time for breakfast, the only customers were a few townspeople.

The busiest hour has passed, and it is completely different from the usual days.

I didn't understand, I was stunned, but the owner of the snack bar greeted warmly: "It's too cold, do you want a bowl of hot noodle soup?" “

At this time, the business of their store is not good, and it is good to have one more customer sitting at the door to support the scene

I calmed down for a while, and after thinking about it, I chose to sit at the small square table that had been temporarily added outside the small shop.

Although the table is small, it is very clean, although the corners of the stools are a little damaged, and it can be seen that the past business is very good.

I sat at the table, waiting for my food to eat, while my eyes were looking at the shops around me.

There are also two small shops across the street.

There is a stove and a steamer at the door of the house, which is about a steamed bun shop.

There is a cauldron next to it. I could smell the hot soup from afar.

There is another shop where you can buy sweets. A row of shelves is placed along the street, and snacks are neatly arranged on them.

Neither store did a good job, perhaps because of the wave of customers before dawn.

When I looked over at this time, there was not a single customer at the dim sum shop.

The bun shop next door had at least two customers sitting at the tables along the street.

Counting me for breakfast on the other side of the street, plus a few other shops, it was close to the boundary of the hill road southeast of town. At this time, the number of guests was less than ten.

Can't figure it out? What about the caravans parked on the mountain roads outside?

At dawn, guests coming from Suzhou, or from the north, will always arrive one after another!

I was a little distracted, and the store took the initiative to make a profit. After a while, the steaming noodle soup was quickly served.

The journey from the inn to the southeast of the town was not far, but the temperature was very low, and I felt my hands and feet were a little numb from the cold.

The weather is pretty good today, but it's windy. It is a sign that rain is likely to follow.

I bowed my head and took a sip of the hot soup. Finally relieved myself.

As soon as the body is warm, the mind is much more active.

I turned to look at the owner of the snack bar and asked, "You've been here for a long time, haven't you been doing that?" Has there ever been a similar situation before? “

My eyes stayed on his face and I observed his expression.

The owner of the snack bar replied to me: "Since the war in the Northland last time, our caravans here have all gone from north to south, but I haven't seen the scene this morning. “

The shopkeeper had to chat with me for a few words because of the cold business in the shop, not to mention that there were very few customers at this time.

Judging from the tone of his voice. He was as puzzled as I was.

It means that the situation this morning is indeed unexpected and somewhat strange!

I didn't ask much next. After eating the noodles silently, he took out the money from his arms and paid for it.

I stood up and put my big burden back on my back.

When I stopped at the store just now, I took off my baggage and suddenly felt the weight on my back lighten.

The not-so-good feeling continued, and I muttered to myself: should I go to the mountain road to see that those caravans have disappeared from a single shadow? “

I was a little depressed, and if the worst happened, as I imagined, what would I do, should I keep going, or should I wait in the town? ”

Once again, the problem was in front of me.

The mountain wind blew the hem of my clothes, and while the thought flashed in my heart, the burden on my back became a little heavier.

There was no caravan ride, and I just relied on my two legs to go north.

I'm afraid that less than a mile from the town, I'll be streamlining my baggage again.

There are so many things, more than when I came, because I asked the caravan people yesterday for the price and made sure that I could take it.

The news that the young man inquired about was reasonably reliable, and the whole process was extremely smooth, but now it once again confirms that no matter how good the plan is, there may be changes on the road.

The old adage that plans can't keep up with change always makes sense.

What can I do?

If you can't find a car on the mountain road southeast of town, it seems that the best thing to do is to spend another day in town.

But in this case, the original plan will have to be adjusted.

The biggest problem is that I am not sure about Wang Shi's movements at the moment.

So far, they are still stationed in the mountains not far from Nanhua Town.

I'll have to wait about a day or two, that's just my own estimate, and then I'll go to the North via Nanhua.

Once the king is in action, the speed of the trip will be much faster than I don't know.

The best I could do was to make as many trips to the Northlands as I could before they moved.

At that time, the probability of meeting Wang Shi is higher.

Otherwise, I'll be pulled down on the way to the Northlands, and once I'm in the Northlands, how can I track them on the battlefield?

Someone, in particular, is always in the center of the team or in the most secret place.

He won't show up easily, everyone knows that.

I walked across the street towards the dim sum shop opposite.

When I walked to the door, the owner immediately came up to greet me as it was their only customer.

Knowing what money I had left, I bought two snacks that I could take with me, and asked the shopkeeper about the caravan in the morning.

The shopkeeper is also hearty, and he has nothing to hide, and he roughly explains the whole process.

He also showed me the short shelves, and the people who got up early in the caravan bought most of them

The street breeze was blowing, and a cry from somewhere rang in my ears.

I walked forward, still thinking about the future.

I don't understand things one after another, and sometimes I have a vague feeling that I didn't make a mistake on the trip to Sealand.

I didn't think about it when I was on the border of Zealand, and I rarely thought about it when I went to the capital city to enter the palace, but this time when I arrived in Nanhua Town, I thought about it several times.

Could it be that the distance is slowly getting closer, and it doesn't seem to be the case, when I was in the Sealand Palace, it was the closest moment between each other.

Negative thoughts linger in my mind for a moment, and they will be thrown away by me immediately.

I know that there is absolutely nothing wrong with coming to Sealand, at least, not to mention the rest, and the medicine I have with me is the most worthwhile reason to come to Sealand.

Slowly out of the town, I walked onto the mountain road outside the southeast of the town.

I raised my eyes to the mountain road, and when I came with the young man yesterday, the familiar scene was gone.

I didn't see the carriages parked in the street, nor the people who were bustling around, nor did I see the cars approaching slowly in the distance, and the mountain road was deserted.

In the silence, there was only one carriage parked on the side of the road, which immediately caught my eye and looked very eye-catching.

The car is an ordinary car, but because he is unique to the whole mountain road, how to look at it and how abrupt!

I was shocked to realize that the scene in front of me was very different from when I came here yesterday.

I was brought here by a young man, and I definitely didn't go in the wrong direction, right here.

I distinctly remember that yesterday the young man went out to negotiate the price with the head of the caravan.

In the morning light, the carriage parked on the road in front of me was as steady as a rock, and when I looked closely, I saw that there was no one in the carriage at all.

Is it an empty car? My mind moved.

The wind whipped up the dust on the road, hovering low in the sky, and I stood on the side of the road with a bit of a blankness, with a momentary blank in my mind, and once again I couldn't grasp the blank of the key points.

After standing for a while, I walked in the direction of the carriage, intending to see if there was anyone in the carriage.

If there was anyone, that person would have been resting in the carriage at this time

Slowly approaching the carriage, I was focused, and sure enough, I heard a slight sound from the carriage.

Even though the wind was blowing on the trail right now, I could hear movement.

The owner of the car was really resting in the car, and after I met him, could I ask him about his route.

If it's going from Nanhua Town to Northland, and it happens to be the same way, I can probably negotiate the price with him.

Of course, I also have to see what kind of person the other person is, and I will find out when I talk. "Excuse me, is there anyone in the car?" I walked over to the carriage and asked.

In the next second, the curtain of the carriage was lifted from the inside.

I met the eyes of the people in the car and was stunned! (To be continued.) )
